Planning a front porch addition to a two story brick veneer house, roof will be a shed or gable style. My question is what is the typical / accepted method to attach the rafters and ceiling joist to the brick veneer ?

This centuries-old paint offers vapor-permeabiity, maintainability, and longevity with zero VOCs, but know its limitations before you get to work.

Greetings rp,
This post, in response to your question, will bump the thread through the 'recent discussion' listing again which will increase it's viewing.
Perhaps it will catch someone's attention that can help you with advice.
Cheers
You don't attach to the brick veneer. You attach to the framing behind it, installing spacers as needed to avoid pressing on the veneer (and also flashing very carefully, of course).
